Janna Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Wow! So what's to be done about that? Is it indeed caused by the smoke he grew up with, even though it's been so long? Or is it caused by 2nd hand smoke in say, restaurants or what have you? That would be concerning to me to, but I'd want to know how to take care of it, if it were even possible. Poor dh! Poor Michele! ~Janna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda in TX Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 DH's dad smoked until about 5 years ago, when he developed the first signs of emphesyma. I worry about what is in DH's body because of that. :( I worry about MIL, too. She's never smoked, but of course has lived with FIL all these years, who started smoking as a teenager.

Scarlett Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I am inclined to believe the test was faulty. A very close friend of mine, that has never smoked and whose parents never smoked had blood work done to buy life insurance and it showed that cotinine was in his blood. They denied him the good rated based on that...he went elsewhere and his blood showed no cotinine.....we often wondered if someone switched samples to get someone else the preferred life insurance rate.
